Re: Rear shock hack job

Still trying to figure out a good way for mounting my rear shocks. Please forgive my crappy drawing, but hopefully, it illustrates a point I'm trying to make. Everything I've learned about suspension and shock mounting tells me the shock should run roughly parallel to the arc of the rear wheel travel. The idea of mounting shocks that mount toward the rear places the travel of the shock outside that arc and it seems to me they will loose a lot of damping effectiveness. My sketch shows roughly where I'd like to mount my shocks, so they are inside the arc of rear wheel travel. Do any of you have photos that show a clean and sturdy way of mounting shocks similar to this?
